ぬらりひょんの孫 [Nurarihyon no Mago] #11
Nura – Herr der Yokai 11
While the day belongs to humans, the night belongs to yokai,supernatural creatures that thrive on human fear. Caught between these worlds is Rikuo Nura. He's three-quarters human, but his grandfather is none other than Nurarihyon, the supreme commander of the Nura clan, a powerful yokai consortium. So, Rikuo is an ordinary teenager three quarters of the time, until his yokai blood awakens. Then Rikuo transforms into the future leader of the Nura clan, leading a hundred demons.
The Nura clan and their allies encounter a veritable forest of a thousand Torii Gates on their way to find the lost seals of Hidemoto. There, Awashima is transported to another dimension and trapped, diminishing the clan’s numbers. She’ll have to fight a powerful yokai before she can attempt to escape. And Rikuo and the others could be at the mercy of a yokai capable of using the thousand Torii Gates to form a massive labyrinth from which they will never escape.

After a chaotic journey and a surprise enemy attack, Rikuo and the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons finally touch down in Kyoto to defeat Hagoromo-Gitsune. Upon their arrival, they discover ominous pillars of power spread throughout the city. Realizing that the situation is far worse than they imagined, the Nura Clan immediately set out for the Fushime Inari Shrine where the first seal is located.
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Vol. 11: Torii Labyrinth is filled with battle after battle. From the attack against the ship to Awashima succumbing to the Torii Labyrinth to the final major battle at the end with Rikuo going up against the unstoppable Tsuchigumo - the fighting never ends.
Although this volume is action-packed, I didn't find it particularly exciting. It is still a fun, enjoyable read but it feels like this volume is setting up for some major events to come. There are a few standout moments from the battles. I'm really enjoying the dynamic between Itaku and Kubinashi. I also find Shoei's strength to be impressive and hope we find out more about him in the future.
I have to say, seeing Rikuo lose his cool while enraged over what Tsuchigumo has done to Yuki-Onna was a nice change from the Mr. Nice Guy role he always plays. I hope to see him super pissed in the next volume. The flashback of Rikuo's father speaking to Kubinashi has me very curious as well, and I hope he makes another appearance soon.

Reason for Reading: Next in the series.
The Nura clan finally reaches Kyoto and encounters many adversaries. This volume is full of battle scenes and doesn't advance the plot all that much except to get them oriented in the right direction for their next plan of action. Finding the lost seals seems to be the important goal to defeating Hagoromo-Gitsune. The addition of Hidemoto, an heir from 400 years ago in the past is an exciting development. I read the volume quickly as it was a lot of battles, which are not my favourite part of shounen. I like the action, but they go on for way too many pages and I find them hard to follow. So not the best volume, but the ending is intense and sets the scene for the next volume.

Setelah melewati berbagai rintangan Klan Nura kini tiba di Kyoto, tapi mereka dihadang oleh pasukan yokai udara yang merupakan bawahan Hagoromo Gitsune. Walau akhirnya bisa mendarat di ibukota, tapj Kota Kyoto kini tengah diliputi kegelapan dari segala arah, manusia mulai diserang membuat suasana kota tidak lagi aman.
Keluarga Keikkan yang mendapat nasehat dari Hidemoto ke-13 yang berupa Shikigami Yura, bahwa keluarga onmyouji tersebut harus bersatu dengan Klan Nura agar mampu mengalahkan Hagoromo Gitsune. Kunci mengalahkan si siluman rubah adalah Shikagmi Hagun milik keluarga Keikkan dan Pedang Nenekimaru milik Klan Nura.
Seperti judul utama volume ini, sebagian besar settingnya ada di Kuil Fushimi Inari yang terkenal akan wisata ribuan gerbang Tori. Atmosfer tradisional nan gelap dipadukan dengan yokai ala Shinto benar-benar membangun kengerian gaya Jepang kuno seperti membawa kembali pembaca ke zaman Nara dan Heian.
Volume ini penuh akan aksi, misteri serta kejutan yang menegangkan, namun seolah nanggung, ya karena ini adalah judul berseri yang pastinya pembaca dibawa secara perlahan-lahan menyaksikan aksinya dan harus rela terpotong agar antusias membaca volume berikutnya bertambah. Unsur komedi di volume ini juga kian berkurang, mungkin karena terlalu fokus pada aksi yang semakin intens.
Perkembangan karakter Nura semakin mengarah ke lebih natural, yang selama ini selalu menang dalam pertarungan dan dibantu oleh bawahan yang andal kini akhirnya bisa melihatnya terpojok ke titik yang paling rendah saat kalah hanya melawan satu yokai cukup membuat ku senang.

リクオがドンドンかっこよくなるよね。
彼が遠野で成長したんだが足りないみたい。土蜘蛛に負けて牛鬼と戦うんだ。ま、リクオはそう考えるんだ。牛鬼は彼を修行させる。本気でリクオを殺したくないから、前の時も本気で殺したくなかったし。なぜそ考えるの？牛鬼はそんなに弱くない。彼が自分の恐れを使わなかった。それは優しいさか変な行儀か分からないが、考えたら多分両方だ。ぬらりひょんは弱いい人や妖怪を無意味で虐めしてない、彼の部下も同じ行動をすると思う。
この巻で羽衣狐の後ろ盾が少し見えてきた。ぬらりひょんの息子を殺したは羽衣狐ではなくて、別の男だった。多分狸の若に悪刀をくれた人と同じだと思う。それからその人はぬら組の一人。裏切者かスパイかはまだ分からないけど。
